WBC heavyweight champion Vitaly Klitschko will defend his title on September 26 against American challenger Chris Arreola in Los Angeles.
The sides haven't made an official statement yet, but several sources have confirmed the date and the place.
The elder Klitchko was initially supposed to fight David Haye, but the Englishman decided he'd rather go up against Russian giant Nikolay Valuev.
Meanwhile, Arreola’s nickname “The Nightmare” is no joke – he's number one in the WBC rankings and boasts a perfect 27-0 record with 24 knockouts.
However, “Doctor Iron Fist” Klitschko is not easily scared himself, with an impressive 39-2 record with 37 knockouts.
